Notes
You can use a mug if you like, but the Irish Coffee glass is perfect for this. If you use a glass vessel, be sure to warm it first and take whatever precautions you normally do to protect it from cracking.
It's OK to experiment with different spices, but I find this simple cinnamon-and-sugar blend is best.
